Injured Coventry Bees star Lee Richardson is hoping to make a rapid return from his broken collar bone.

Richardson, who suffered the injury in Sunday?s World Championship semi-final in Poland, has targeted the Championship of Great Britain final at Eastbourne a week on Saturday for his comeback.

Richardson misses this weekend?s Danish Grand Prix in Copenhagen and he will also sit out Coventry?s Elite League matches at Belle Vue next Monday, and Oxford on July 4.

?I am hoping to get as much physio as I can in the next week,? said Richardson, ?and if the collar bone heals OK, then I want to try and get a practice in later next week with a view to riding at Eastbourne.

?The hole I hit on Sunday was about two foot wide, and I had used it the lap before to get some traction. My mechanic said it looked like a motocross jump with both wheels off the ground, and though I got it back down, I locked up and had nearly gone down when Ryan Fisher touched me and helped send me over. He did brilliantly to lay his bike down.

?I want to be British Champion so I am hoping the treatment works and I am OK for Saturday week.?

Mark Loram, who hasn?t ridden since breaking his left arm on Good Friday, has also withdrawn from Saturday?s Grand Prix, leaving Scott Nicholls as the sole Briton involved.

Fisher, who damaged a leg in Sunday?s crash, is expected to be fit for this Saturday?s British League Cup meeting with Stoke at Brandon.
